You can have a heart attack at any age if the conditions are right. I had one at age 17 from abusing laxatives. I was lucky, minimal damage was done.
Yes, if you doctor sees that your tests are really messed up he should call you and start to treat you and then let the endo take over.
Check out some heart sites and read up on the symptoms for WOMEN. Women present different symptoms than men when having a heart attack, often women get a pain in their arm and men don't.
I didn't mean to scare into having a heart attack Spriggy, I just wanted to make sure you keep on top of it. Chest pain, slight or not, is not good.
I would call your doctor tomorrow and find out about the blood work since it's before the weekend.
Don't freak out on us! :-)
